A Feb. 10 story from Wisconsin Public Radio states that Speaker Robin Vos (R-Rochester) plans to wrap up the Assembly session next week, meaning that AB228 has to be scheduled for a floor vote between now and Feb. 18. Meanwhile, the state senate has no plans to adjourn until March. SB221, the senate version, has already passed committee and is awaiting scheduling.

With strong bipartisan co sponsorship, the CBD bill, if it gets to the floor in each chamber, should easily pass. Legislation rarely reaches the floor that is not assured passage these days.
